Operator
Operator[Operator Instructions] The first question come from the line of Naman Parmar from Devesh Investments.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsYes. Thank you so much for the opportunity and congratulations on great side of number. So firstly, I wanted to understand on the U.K. market specifically. So how has been the demand scenario on that market side? And if you can break up the capacity on the U.K. market because in U.K. market also if you are manufacturing then you also would be selling that to the U.S. or the other region, right? So how much of the total capacity situated in the U.K. market?
Anand Sharma
ExecutivesOkay. So I can answer then for the question. I'll answer the second question first. So the U.K. market, the manufacturing is completely dedicated for the U.K. market only. That's one. Number 2 is -- you see the U.K., there is no doubt U.K. market is tough right now, but we've been doing, I think, quite well. Our team is on it. What we had a visit last month, we know. And I think what is interesting part is while U.K. is facing challenges, that the whatever the reserve, what we are giving right now is at the worst crisis the U.K. can pass, it seems very clearly that U.K. is bottomed out. That's point number one. We are so resilient we do our low-cost model. Most of the products are being exported from India to U.K. that we feel that the opportunities are very large. So for example, we have developed about 15 new customers in the last 3 quarters, which are big changes in the U.K. market where Europe is not able to sustain at a low price competition. So it is a the things are tough, challenging, but the market, we are increasing our market share, and that's how we are sustaining in U.K. at this point of time.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsOkay. And what is the capacity in the U.K. market?
Anand Sharma
ExecutivesCapacity in terms?
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsFor the cost in and the stainless...
Anand Sharma
ExecutivesNo, we are not manufacturing anything over there. We are only manufacturing solid services, yes. We're not doing anything...
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsAnd lastly, on the Indian market, like if we see like there has been a very good penetration from 16% of the revenue. It has come later higher to 20% of even -- so like you mentioned about the e-commerce deal also you are correct. So how has been the distribution network has been getting spent over? And what's your outlook for the Indian market going forward? .
Anand Sharma
ExecutivesThe Indian market is -- I just touch you a broader picture. So I think it's very clear we want to touch our INR 500 crores sale within 5 years in India. As India, I think we are as a brand and as our product portfolio, I think we are performing. I think we have actually not shipped our gears in India. This is the first time we are shifting our deals in India. So I think on a longer run, if you are to achieve a turnover of INR 500 crores within the next less than 5 years, we will have to grow at a rate of 30%, 40% year-on-year. And the company is with all the expansion and what the new product launches with the new team, we will -- will be added will be added to see that we are a norm able to take away to have a substantial market share in India.
Operator
OperatorOur next question comes from the line of Garik Bafna from Mona Metro Capital Limited.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsCongratulations, sir, on a good set of numbers. Sir, my first question is on the ForEx side. What kind of ForEx gains have been recorded in the quarter? And how much of it has been impacted in our revenue and margins?
Anand Sharma
ExecutivesSo Vivek, we have INR 2.5 crore gain in the quarter 4 on the ForEx side. And what are the next question, sir? .
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsHow has it impacted the margin? How has that impacted our margins and revenue? .
Anand Sharma
ExecutivesSo margin could be like -- it's like less than 1%, 0.5%.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsAnd on the top line plan.
Anand Sharma
ExecutivesTop line impact is this only because whatever gain coming that is reflected in the exchange gain, we are not changing the -- whatever billing happened, that is all the same price, which is on the data of the sales. .
Unknown Executive
ExecutivesWhat is asking what the incremental you got because of...
Anand Sharma
ExecutivesINR 2.5 crore overall revenue.
Unknown Executive
ExecutivesSo I think I can answer that. So I think the rupee has depreciated roughly about 5% to 6%. I think that will be the sales gain what we have got.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsOkay, sir. Got it. And sir, now second thing is on the court sinks capacity, which is expected to come in this year. So by when should we expect this to come? And how much utilization do we see that we can achieve over here?
Anand Sharma
ExecutivesWe said it's going to be comments so we already started the ground digging and all that. So we are looking at to finish it by quarter 1 FY '27 --. quarter 1, FY' 28 -- so a year -- sorry quarter 4 FY '27.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsAnd sir, the recent capacity being added on the stainless side, and you can see that commissioning has started today. So sir, once this capacity expansion. So what would be driven over year as to have we added new clients? Or have we increased our wallet share from existing clients? .
Anand Sharma
ExecutivesBoth. We have increased our wallet share -- we have also got some new export opportunities. And third, we have already mentioned like large players like Graco and seals tide with us with the leader, we are already falling back on them. capacity. So we already are having backlogs. So this increase in capacity would be mature within the next 90 days. So we will already start graduate, it will start, but it will be more mature in the next 90 days.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsOkay, sir. Got it. And sir, last thing is on your guidance for revenue. Can we achieve more than 20% revenue growth in the coming years with new capacities on board very aggressive domestic expansion.
Anand Sharma
ExecutivesIt's a tough one, is for me to answer this. We are at, we are added our growth guidance of between 15%, 20% right now remains in place with a 18% to 20% margin guidance. The geopolicdversities are very, very strong. I cannot cannot even say the future what it is. But we stick to our guidance what we have mentioned before.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsOkay. Sir, 1 last thing is on the cash issues, which were there globally during the quarter. So any -- so what is your view over it? And also, sir, did you face any freight disruption in terms of exporting the products to U.S., U.K. or the UAE, have we seen any increase in time line of reaching the products for the final destination?
Anand Sharma
ExecutivesYes, yes. So there is -- so I think there's no question to answer a question to there is the 100%. I think there is a lot of disruptions on freight, but team is managing well. Somewhere we have delays on getting the containers, some were delays of getting the ships reaching the customer. So that is there. I think that's going to be -- that's going to be there, but that's something which is out of control on everybody's hands but we are doing our best to manage it. And your first question was on the cap portals, I didn't understand.
Unknown Executive
ExecutivesCapEx, you're in what...
Anand Sharma
ExecutivesWe have a cap --
Unknown Executive
ExecutivesMaybe can you answer the question...
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsSir, my first question was on the gas availability.
Anand Sharma
ExecutivesSo currently, we are getting 100% supply. So it was for only a few weeks, it was not available. Now it's 100% operation. .
Operator
OperatorOur next question comes from the line of Mo Pinafore investment as [indiscernible]
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsCongratulation, sir, on a great set of number. My question is regarding the 5-year India revenue target of INR 500 crores so this year, you did like INR 175 crores, so that means roughly 25% CAGR for the next 5 years. Given the premium positioning of Carin active brand investments. Don't you think this target appears quite conservative?
Anand Sharma
ExecutivesThere it in terms [Foreign Language] go because we realize we are realistic. A lot of -- we all know a lot of the adverse situation going around. So we are -- and it is conservative, yes, but it is really a quite good growth and even to do this growth, it is going to be challenging. It's not going to be a with this because we are at a -- what we call a launch phase to scale up our India. So I think once 1 or 2 years, if you're able to achieve this, and I think the moment going to pick up.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsOkay, sir. Sir, also you mentioned that the U.K. market has bottomed out about the Europe market, Sorothas been impacted by weak housing demand, inflation and higher energy costs and a softer consumer sentiment over the past few years. Given Europe is a key market for Caris, how have the demand trends evolved over the last few quarters and seeing kind of prices. Are you seeing any recovery in order inflows or customer confidence? .
Anand Sharma
ExecutivesGood question. So first of all, I want to say Europe is comprises of more than 20 countries. We are spread across 12 countries across Europe. Second, I've always been saying that our -- most of our European competition because has gone very big because of this. So most of the market share we are taking off that with the large kitchen manufacturers and large retail scores. Point number 3 is that we have been suddenly seeing a good traction of order coming from Europe. Now whether it is I'm sure it is to do more with the -- taking on the market share of our competition. But we slowly feel that things are improving in Europe as far as the kitchens are concerned. One thing Europe does not compromise is this kitchen. That is every 4 to 5 years, they change the kitchen in respective audit is. So that's the advantage you get when you are positioning at a premium segment of the market.
Operator
Operator[Operator Instructions] Our next question comes from the line of Sunil Jain from Nirmal Bang Securities. .
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsCongratulations on good numbers. Sir, my question related to India business. The Indian business margins are similar to the company level margin or they are at a development stage?
Anand Sharma
ExecutivesI think as far as the not I think, I think it is. I think our gross margins are validation in a few of the product categories even better than the exports and there is thanks to the new value-added products that we have introduced. So on the net profit side, because of the higher marketing costs, we had a launch phase, and we are recruiting new teams on a net level, it is lower than export. But moving forward, as we are able to get scale, the margin improvement is going to happen.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsSo any target for ad spend or sales development expense?
Anand Sharma
ExecutivesYes. So we have a sale yes. So total that we have markets in delivered, we have benchmarked at about 10% to 10% of our sales, and we are sticking to that. If any of the 1 or 2 quarters on exhibitions happen, that is like a onetime cost minus that web benchmarking in 10%.
Operator
OperatorOur next question comes from the line of Pragya from OMI Securities.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsCongratulations for a good set of ensurity. Sir, my question is I really want to understand the majority of our revenue is followed from export market, what are risk mitigation techniques to be used that are epost as good numbers? The fourth question is please.
Anand Sharma
ExecutivesWhat is -- what we are doing to get the good number. Good, right good numbers here is a problem. Yes, I think great trust relationships what our company has built over this period of time, and that is what on the results. That's number one. Second is we have been very persistent on getting the new customers like Lowe's, Home Depot, just giving you an example that I've been going there in the United States and playing golf with them for the last 15 years right? Like I will come back, an myself and under the sun. So the there is no pain, no gain. You've got to burn some tire. I think is a persistency what our company has done to gain these new customers. Third is the exposure and the visibility of our company as we are able to reach scale and be able to penetrate to large and well-known OEM customers. The more the visibility of our company as a brand is coming, and that is adding a lot of trust. And fourth and the last thing is that our we are really ahead of the curve in terms of technology, quality and in terms of price. So we are probably the lowest cost producer in premium category of branded sings and now also in the stainless steel. I think an that I think we are earning that a very strong reputation on it. And I think based on these 4 pillars, I think we see that the next 5-year ride is going to be quite good.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsAnd we are not facing any issues in Q1? Like any trade disruptions or delays in shipping the product? .
Anand Sharma
ExecutivesIt is No, it is. It is. The disruptions are happening. -- delays are happening with the country. That's how it's not with us. It's with every industry. So I think for some short time, I think we got a deal. Customers understand so they we have to deal with it.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsOkay. Sir, second question is, currently, if I'm not wrong, our appliances capacity is around 50,000 is wrong. And and we are increasing it by 50,000 by FY '28, right? So do you see it ramping up in phases, like will any capacity come in FY '27 or will entire capacity be operationally in FY '28. And what would be the utilization in the first year?
Anand Sharma
ExecutivesYes. So we are actually directing a brand-new plan for appliances of this. We are in touch with some very large international companies for a collaboration on this. And I think soon we'll be closing on that. And based on that, a complete new assembly line will be in. The 1 what we have of 50,000 boots is more of a pilot production what we are doing. So to answer your question, the whole capacity increase of 100,000 units, it is going to come. additional 100,000 units to days 50 plus 50, so 100,000 unit total -- so it will be 50-plus will be 50,000 to start with as Phase 1. That's going to come in FY '28.
Operator
OperatorOur next question comes from the line of Anupam from Ratnatraya Capital.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsSir, how much of CapEx is required for this 500 units of appliances that we are talking about? Or how will you manage this? .
Anand Sharma
ExecutivesSo overall, the overall capacity, what we are building the infra, we are building for about 200,000 units. -- cross sale is 50,000 units. The total infra cost right now, it is coming at about -- about INR 30 crores to INR 40 crores which is building the assembly line, yes.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsOkay. On the warts capacity, sir, you said it will be coming on Q1 FY '28. I understand. So....
Anand Sharma
ExecutivesSorry. It was no, no, sorry. I would like to -- finally, I did clarify, it is quarter 4 FY '27.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsOkay. So our capacity is going from where to where right now?
Anand Sharma
ExecutivesYes. So we are increasing to 250,000 units, will be 1.25.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsOkay. And we do expect this capacity to get utilized within 2 years? Or how do we look at it? .
Anand Sharma
ExecutivesI think right now, I think looking at what the business traction is, let us see. Are we good, but I think it will -- let's see, probably in a year's time, maximum. We if things go really well, I think we can really do it in less than 6 months.
Operator
OperatorI'm sorry to interrupt you, but you may please -- you may please rejoin the queue for more questions. [Operator Instructions] Our next question comes from the line of Sagar Jethwani from Phillip Capital.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsYes. Congratulations on a good Q4. Just 3 questions, actually. What led to 50% growth in volumes in stainless steel on a Y-o-Y basis and even there is a good amount of jump in sequential volumes. So that's my first question. Secondly, can our margins improve more than 20% if we grow our revenues by, say, 18% to 20%, so can we achieve some good amount of operating leverage at this rate of revenue growth going ahead? That is second. Third, would you be able to provide a margin for kitchen appliances and faucet business? .
Anand Sharma
ExecutivesSure. So I'll take your question. First is the scale in the sales business is launching of high products and strong demand for that in the Indian market. And secondly, you started the OEM supplies to brands like as and color. So I think that's where we got the scale and that's why we are expanding our capacity. Point number 2 is, yes, I think it is going to be a volume-led growth and margin expansion potential is there. At the same time, we need to see there a lot of new vertical issues going on, but our margin guidance will be staying at 18%, 20%. If things go really well, then yes, there is a potential of margin expansion when the geopatical situation normalizes. But our obviously endeavor is there that we do we do -- we try to do better than what we have, what we have suggested. That's to Third is on the -- or yes, on the margin side. So I think on the kitchen -- the kitchen ores and the faucets, I think moving forward, is going to have the -- the best margins. Approximately it's going at about 60% gross margins and which is -- and with the new products, which we plan to have a our gross margin guidance between going to be around 60%. I think that's what we're going to do.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsLastly, how our MMA prices? Last question. .
Anand Sharma
ExecutivesMMA prices are on the rise. They are increased in the ring, which is they say at a short level, but they have stopped increasing. That's a second good thing. So the bad thing, it has increased. Second thing is the stop increasing. And third thing, good thing that we have been able to mostly have been able to pass on to our customers.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsCurrently, how much are they -- sorry, just a follow-up.
Anand Sharma
ExecutivesYes. So I'm just saying the private price has increased by about 30% approximately 30%, 35%.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsSequentially --
Anand Sharma
Executivesthe last quarter, it increased by around 25% to 30% in the last 2 months.
Operator
OperatorThe next question comes from the line of Nisha Jain with Ethos Growth Ventures. .
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsSo I just wanted to ask how should we think about the sustainability of the current margins across cycles what would be the separation between the product mix and operating leverage benefit versus the material tailwind metals like MMA, if that happens?
Anand Sharma
ExecutivesYes. So I can answer I think the -- I think like I said, it's going to be like a volume-led growth. I mean the company, the new tie-ups that we have done all whether it's stainless steel or whether it's a part in, I think we are we have good operating margins or gross margins for both the product lines. Our company is also moving into a lot of technology disruption like we are introducing a lot of automation. So it will be a big operating leverage. So I think it's going to be -- there is going to be a mix of a product mix, high margin product mix and with outpatient operating leverage, which will drive the forward. And the third is that, one, we are doing a lot of innovation within our company. So for example, we have kind of have got a breakthrough in 2, 3 big technology advancement in word and in the stainless steel, which is going to significantly significantly in 1 of the cases, user manufacturing costs. And in 1 case, it is going to go to improve our sales price. So that is something we have been trying to achieve for a long, long time. And our team, I think, has done a great, great, great job in this. Basically, we're trying to do is that once you want to achieve scale, you need to try to touch upon the new landscape and horizons, which our competition is into and that means you need to try to match with that price. And secondly, you need to come out with not just pricing, but in Europe is -- and the red states, you need to come with a more better material, which our competition is making. So I think that's where we've been tri- we have got the breakthroughs in that, and we would we would be driving growth as 1 of our -- 1 of our growth drivers would be that.
Operator
OperatorOur next question comes from the line of Pragada with Omni Securities.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsSorry, sir, my line was disconnected. So sir, the next question I was about to ask is, is the serrated revenue going to remain in the same line, growing at like 5%, 6% every year. Is it going to be the same?
Unknown Executive
ExecutivesYou're talking about sub growth? .
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsYes, surface.
Anand Sharma
ExecutivesSo right now, the U.K. market, as I said, is bottomed out, I think is going flat. U.S., we have seen in the last quarters are quite a significant improvement. -- what it is. The sales have grown by 10%. So if we've been constantly innovating this bringing launching new high-margin products over there.
